About ALT21
In 2025, ValutaPartners entered into a partnership with ALT21 to broaden its services.
ALT21 is a regulated financial technology company focused on making currency hedging accessible to businesses and individuals of all sizes. The company has built its own technology platform that enables businesses and individuals to exchange currencies, make international payments and hedge their currency risks.
ALT21 is authorised by the UK Financial Conduct Authority to execute FX spot transactions, forwards and options. ALT21 holds a European licence via Malta as an electronic money institution. This licence allows the company to issue electronic money, manage payment accounts, execute payments, transfer funds and issue payment instruments. The licence grants ALT21 the right to offer these services throughout the European Economic Area.
ALT21's innovative solutions
ALT21's mission is to make cross-border payments and hedging simpler, more transparent and more affordable. After years of investing in an integrated platform, the company can automate all steps of the currency exchange and hedging process, charging just four basis points for currency conversions. This is significantly lower than the more than two hundred basis points that traditional banks charge on average.
ALT21 offers multi-currency accounts, FX spot transactions, forward contracts and options, all on a single online platform. The platform supports 34+ currencies and enables clients to send and receive payments, view exchange rates in real time and execute transactions themselves without subscription fees.
A key component is forward contracts. Businesses and individuals can choose from fixed, flexible or "window" forwards with maturities up to 24 months and a notional value up to EUR 30 million. The platform gives clients complete freedom in the use of flexible forwards. Clients can execute payments from a flexible forward contract themselves.
ValutaPartners and ALT21
ValutaPartners has been offering a brokerage service since 2016, enabling clients to execute competitive exchange rates and fast international payments.
With the partnership with ALT21 in 2025, this service is expanded with advanced hedging products and greater flexibility for clients to manage everything themselves.
As an authorised party, ALT21 provides the regulated hedging services and ensures compliance with laws and regulations, while ValutaPartners remains the point of contact for daily questions and support.
With this partnership, ValutaPartners offers a broader range of solutions: transparent spot transactions and advanced hedging products. This allows clients to manage both their daily transactions and their long-term currency risks efficiently and cost-effectively.

ValutaPartners offers its clients a currency brokerage service, working together with Currencycloud.
Currencycloud is an online platform that provides financial services to businesses looking to make international payments. The platform enables businesses to convert currencies, transfer money and receive payments in various currencies worldwide.
Currencycloud's goal is to make cross-border payments simpler and more efficient for businesses. The platform offers a range of features and tools to help businesses manage their international payments, including real-time exchange rates, automated payments and payment activity reporting.
Currencycloud's innovative solutions
Currencycloud works with a wide range of companies, including fintech firms, banks, payment providers and e-commerce businesses, such as Revolut, Standard Bank, Starling Bank and Bunq. The platform is designed to be flexible and scalable, so it can be adapted to the specific needs of different businesses and sectors.
Currencycloud offers an innovative solution for businesses that need to make international payments, making it easier to do business in a globalised economy.
Currencycloud was founded in 2012 in the United Kingdom and is now led by Mike Laven and his team. The company aims to simplify and modernise the international payments process, particularly for small and medium-sized businesses.
In 2015, Currencycloud received an investment of $18 million from a group of investors led by Sapphire Ventures. This gave the company the resources to continue growing and expanding its services.
Since then, Currencycloud has expanded its presence in the United States, Europe and Asia, and has formed partnerships with major players in the fintech industry and traditional banking. In the Netherlands, Currencycloud's technology is used by Bunq.
In 2016, Currencycloud entered into a white-label partnership with ValutaPartners, co-founded by Michiel Souren. Through ValutaPartners, Dutch businesses also gained access to the Currencycloud platform, competitive and transparent exchange rates, and lightning-fast international payments.
Businesses looking to convert at competitive exchange rates and make lightning-fast international payments via the Currencycloud platform can only do so through a white-label partner. ValutaPartners is the only provider of this service in the Netherlands.
In 2017, Currencycloud received an investment of USD 25,000,000 from Google Ventures among others. This funding was used to finance the company's growth and global expansion.
At the end of 2021, Currencycloud was acquired by Visa for $962 million. This acquisition significantly strengthened Currencycloud's position and enabled it to invest even more in the development of its products and services.
All in all, since 2012 Currencycloud has played a significant role in transforming the world of international payments in a short time, and is expected to continue growing and innovating in the future.
